Wednesday's loose thread

Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich wants the county to revisit the decision of where a new jail facility or expansion would take place -- right where the existing jail is or somewhere farther from town where a lower, more horizontal design would be cheaper. One issue that came up before and likely would again if the current site is selected: Is this unfair to the West Central neighborhood to have to shoulder such a heavy burden for corrections facilities?
